That did the trick, thanks for the post, much appreciated!

Hi,

I've read a decent chunk of this thread, but do not have time to read it all. So question:

Is there a way to shut down xbmc using MCE Keyboard, MCE SE Keyboard or MCE Remote?

On a somewhat related topic, does there exist a document/wiki entry/post that speaks to all the keyboard shortcuts available for xbmc? I haven't had luck locating one.

Thanks.

Yes and Yes.

To shutdown XBMC with remote, map 'END' to a button. I think XBMC has to be at menu screen so maybe multiple action 'ESC' then 'END'

All this info in this forum post elsewhere.

Hi all,

Trying to follow this guide with my new HTPC (XBMC) and Harmony One. I added the MCE Keyboard but when I add the MCE Remote the Harmony SW wants me to learn the commands from the original remote. Do I need to do this step? If I click done without learning any, it goes on to ask me if I want to use a similar device "Microsoft MCE 2006" - I can only select Next or Previous.

Lastly (for now), do I actually need to map out every single key in the custom section? I thought things like Play and Pause would work automatically.

Thanks!

I would recommend just using the MCE Keyboard. My XBMC setup works just fine by assigning the keyboard commands to the remote buttons.

Hi @ all,

maybe somebody can halp me out with one or two little hints...

I´m running Dharma on Windows 7 32-Bit. I found a MCE Remote with
IR Reciever in the garage...
I plugged in and the in the devices&printer section it is recognized
as "MCE USB IR Receiver Spinel Plus"...The original remote works without a problem, but my harmony acting as a MCE Keyboard does nothing...not a single key press is recognized...

Is this du to the receiver? Spinel Plus...never heard of it...google gives no useful results...

Any hint?

cheers,
Max
